This repository contains the standalone fnlla (finella) application (`fnlla (finella)`).

**ABOUT**`fnlla/fnlla` is the official fnlla (finella) starter application for product teams. It provides production-ready defaults, an operational safety baseline, and a clear path from local development to CI and release workflows. The starter includes the AI-ready runtime surface from fnlla (finella) packages (AI driver, policy controls, routing, telemetry, and optional RAG), while defaulting to safe local/non-provider settings until explicitly enabled.

**OWNERSHIP****-** Author: [TechAyo](https://techayo.co.uk)**-** Project Manager: Marcin Kordyaczny

**ACCESS MODES****-** **`fnlla-only` access**: use stable dependencies from `composer.json`. **-** **Cross-repo access** (`fnlla (finella)` + `framework` + `packages`): use local dev profile from `composer.dev.json` (available for maintainers with access to private `fnlla/framework`).

**CREATE PROJECT (PUBLIC PACKAGIST)**Create a new app directly:

```
composer create-project fnlla/fnlla my-app
```

Or via installer CLI:

```
composer global config repositories.fnlla-installer vcs https://github.com/fnlla/installer
composer global require fnlla/installer:dev-main
fnlla new my-app
```

No GitHub cloning is required for the standard bootstrap path. See `documentation/src/private-registry.md` for public/private registry details and private add-on auth examples.

**WHY BOTH `fnlla/fnlla` AND `fnlla/installer`****-** `fnlla/fnlla` is the project template consumed by Composer (`create-project`). **-** `fnlla/installer` is a CLI wrapper (`fnlla new`) that improves onboarding UX (preflight checks, guided flow, future stack choices). **-** Both paths generate the same starter baseline and stay release-aligned.

**PACKAGIST AUTO-UPDATE****-** Primary path: GitHub webhook (`https://packagist.org/api/github`) on push events. **-** Fallback path: `.github/workflows/packagist-fallback-update.yml` (triggered on `v*` tags or manually) using `PACKAGIST_USERNAME` + `PACKAGIST_API_TOKEN` secrets.

**LOCAL DEV WITH SIBLING REPO**Clone repositories side by side:

```
/framework   # github.com/fnlla/framework
/packages    # github.com/fnlla/packages
/fnlla       # github.com/fnlla/fnlla

```

Then from `fnlla (finella)`:

```
copy .env.example .env
composer run deps:dev:install
php bin/fnlla db:bootstrap
composer run dev
```

`APP_KEY` is auto-bootstrapped on first app boot when `.env` contains an empty `APP_KEY=`. You can also generate it manually with:

```
php bin/fnlla key:generate
```

Optional Python sidecar worker is supported (disabled by default). Use `PYTHON_WORKER_*` variables to point fnlla (finella) at your Python service and verify connectivity with `php bin/fnlla python:ping`.

`composer.dev.json` resolves local packages from `../packages/framework` and `../packages/*` in source repository checkouts. `.env.example` is intentionally minimal; advanced environment flags are documented in `documentation/src/environment-reference.md`.

**FNLLA-ONLY QUICKSTART (NO FRAMEWORK ACCESS)**From `fnlla (finella)`:

```
copy .env.example .env
composer install --no-interaction --prefer-dist
php bin/fnlla db:bootstrap
composer run dev
```

**COMMANDS****-** Start app: `composer run dev`**-** Smoke tests: `composer run smoke`**-** Ops check: `composer run ops:check`**-** Prod profile check: `composer run ops:check:prod`**-** Enterprise readiness check: `composer run enterprise:check`**-** Composer lock source check: `composer run lock:check`**-** Distribution split check: `composer run distribution:check`**-** Python worker ping: `php bin/fnlla python:ping`**-** Install git hooks: `composer run hooks:install`

**PHP RUNTIME PINNING (CLI)****-** In local/dev environments, fnlla (finella) CLI/scripts auto-reexec to PHP 8.5.5 when launched with any other PHP binary. **-** In CI, any PHP 8.5.x runtime is accepted. **-** Preferred local binary can be pinned explicitly with `Fnlla_PHP_BIN` (or `Fnlla_PHP85_BIN`) pointing to PHP 8.5.5. **-** `composer run dev` also runs through this guard; you can override bind address with `Fnlla_DEV_HOST` and `Fnlla_DEV_PORT`. **-** To disable this fallback guard (not recommended), set `Fnlla_PHP_GUARD_DISABLED=1`.

**NAME ORIGIN AND TECHNICAL SLUG****-** Product name: `fnlla (finella)` (name origin: fnlla (finella) Gardens, Dundee, UK). **-** Technical slug: `fnlla` (`github.com/fnlla`, `fnlla.co.uk`). **-** Why `fnlla (finella)`: short ASCII-only identifier for repositories, package/tooling paths, and domain naming.

**NOTES****-** Use `composer.json` for stable/production installs. **-** `composer.json` resolves fnlla packages via `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fnlla/packages/main/repository`. **-** Use `composer.dev.json` for local development against your local `framework` repo (source repository checkout mode). **-** `composer.json` intentionally avoids local `path` repositories so `fnlla-only` installs and `create-project` do not require a sibling checkout. **-** Starter template intentionally does not commit `composer.lock`; each generated app should produce its own lock from public package sources. **-** For advanced toggles (AI router, telemetry, integrations), extend your `.env` using `documentation/src/environment-reference.md`. **-** For team onboarding tracks (product developers vs maintainers), start from `documentation/src/onboarding.md`. **-** Use `documentation/src/enterprise-go-live-checklist.md` as the final pre-production gate. **-** Public/private registry setup is documented in `documentation/src/private-registry.md`. **-** Access workflow guidance is maintained in source repository checkouts.
